Pros:
Baskets-- DisCatchers all present and accounted for. all in good shape and nice and visible in some thicker woods.
Teesignage-- well, it has a number and distance and rough diagram of the course in sharpie. better than nothing...
Cons:
Aesthetic-- plays through busy campus sections for much of the course, when it's not playing in busy campus sections, it's playing along the river, over a creek and 3/4 of a mile down 10 mile.
Routing and Nav-- without the map, forget it. the teepole for #14 has some rough directions to #15 on it... keep in mind #15 is 3/4 of a mile down 10 mile... hell, at least there are sidewalks.
Hole 2-5 and on to 6-- hole #2 plays over a parking lot which (according to the last review and my experience) has cars in it a lot.. 3-4-5 play on the strip of land between the parking lot and m10 service drive. Awful design, hell at least the old course had only 2 on these islands... The walk to six may as well be a contact sport. Not only do you have to walk down the service drive but for a good portion of it, there is no bike lane in which to walk. There was no chance in hell I was taking my kid in a stroller down that.. The other option was the walk across the river flats (which is still there, it's where #11 and 12 are) which takes you down stairs, which is no fun with a stroller and over a bridge with steps up and down. And then there's the walk to 15 and the creek on 16.
The creek on 16-- there is absolutely no way to cross this muck creek without soaked feet. There is no bridge and with a stroller, no way to cross. I walked through the woods down a "goat path" and found an easier crossing but it's still a pain in the ass.
Other Thoughts:
I thought this might be better than it used to be, I was right. There are some glimmers of hope here but for the most part, it's as bad as it used to be...
